MUMBAI INDIANS
The pre-tournament favourites the Mumbai Indians find themselves bottom of the table after 2 successive losses to start their IPL 2024 campaign.
Their last match was away to the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 8 and they won the toss and chose to field. Their bowlers were put to the sword from the start and the Sunrisers scored a record 277/3 in their 20 overs. Hardik Pandya was the pick of the bowlers with 1/46 off his 4 overs.
Mumbai began their chase like they meant business and they raced to 50 runs in just 18 balls. Every time they appeared to be getting on top of the chase though a wicket fell and they ended up with 246/5 to lose by 31 runs. Tilak Varma was the pick of the batsman with 64 runs at a strike rate of 188. Despite losing the match Mumbai cleared the boundary 20 times 2 more than their opponents.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS
The Royals sit 3rd on the table with a 100% record after 2 matches.
Last time out they played the Delhi Capitals and were sent in to bat after losing the toss. They scored 185/5 despite a fairly slow start and the early loss of Jaiswal. Riyan Parag proved to be the star with the bat scoring an unbeaten 84 off just 45 balls to see his side to a defendable total.
The Capitals started quickly and although Nandre Burger struck twice in the 4th over the Royals looked in some trouble at the half way point of the innings. They managed to keep the pressure on and with the run rate climbing the Capitals lost key wickets and ultimately finished on 173/5 to lose by 12 runs. Best bowling figures went to Yuzvendra Chahal with 2-19 in his 3 overs.
HEAD TO HEAD
These sides have played 30 times with Mumbai winning 16 and the Royals 13. When these sides last met at this ground the Royals scored 212/7 in their 20 overs but Mumbai chased it down with 3 balls left and 6 wickets in hand.
Last time these sides met RCB posted 174 in their 20 overs and they bowled PBKS out for 150 in the 19th over.
